Generate xml feeds?

Hi guys,
Here's what I want to do...
I want to automate some of the stuff I do in SAP ... so I would like to know if there is any way to generate an XML feed with the results of some transactions I use... let's say... I want to generate an XML with the opened production orders... and I want it refreshed every 10 minutes.
Is there any way to do something like this? Where I can find some documentation?
Thanks!

Hello
We are very sorry for the long wait with this issue.
Our dev team has been working on it and we will be releasing a fix for this and some similar issues soon.
Thank you so much for your continued patience.

Query to generate Nested XML feed

Hello,
I use Oracle 11g R2 SOE....
I have two main tables
COMMERCIALS_PROPERTIES (com_id number PK , com_size number, project_id number, com_type number)
COM_PHOTOS (ID number PK , com_id number FK, content blob, mimetype varchar2)
Please, note the following has nothing to do with my problem:
CONTENT and MIMETYPE columns. Also, the lookup tables: PROJECTS , COM_TYPE
I Exposed a report as RESTful web service in XML format:
I am using this query to generate the XML 1 feed, but I need to tweak the query to generate XML 2 feed.
Is it possible, how to do it ???

Generating RSS Feeds using files with extension .xml

Bonjour!
Apologies if this is not the correct forum - please redirect me if necessary.
I am trying to create an .xml file to upload to my server allowing me to generate rss feeds on my web site. If i understand correctly (I am a beginner webmaster) for my RSS feed to be valid, the first line must read for example '<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<rss version="0.91"> which is the case in my document until I save it! When I try to save the text file as .xml MAC OSX treats it as a Word File. I have tried saving as .txt with the same result. Trying to change the extension once the file has been uploaded to my server doesn't work either - the RSS feed validators still pick the document up as a Word file.
http://www.immobilier.rimcka.com/rss.xml
Could you advise, please?
Merci

What APP are you using to save it?
Might drop it on FileWiz and see if it has a Type/Creator code.
Might give BBEdit a look/try...

Tutorial needed: Nivo Slider powered by Photo Gallery XML feed

I'm in need of some help. I've setup my Photo Gallery, generated the xml feed. I went to the Nivo slider site, but don't see instructions of how to make it read the xml file.

So this is the information that I'm using which leads me to believe I can use the xml feed to populate the slider.
http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-1780
. You can now style this using your own CSS or use one of the many free, jQuery-based Gallery/Slideshow plugins available on the web, such as Galleria, the jQuery Cycle plugin, or InnerFade.
When using a seperate jQuery plugin on top of this set up, make sure you place and execute the plugin script after the code we just inserted, so that our LI items are generated before it attempts to process and manipulate them.
Am I right and it just takes the proper coding?

"Generating rss FEED" in log files?

Does anyone know what causes these entries in coldfusion-out.log? I see some examples of other users having these same entries in their logs but I can't figure out what causes it?

You must put the taglib stuff in a <jsp-config> section in the web.xml. e.g.
<jsp-config>
<taglib>
<taglib-uri>/WEB-INF/rssutils.tld</taglib-uri>
<taglib-location>/WEB-INF/rssutils.tld</taglib-location>
</taglib>
</jsp-config>
I put the .jar file and .tld file in the WEB-INF dir and it worked fine for me.
I used Netbeans 6.1. For web projects it has a library folder. Use the Netbeans wizard to
get the lib installed so the IDE works with it. Note also that the Netbeans IDE has an xml validator
so it is easy to see if your web.xml file is valid. That is how I figured out the <jsp-config> tags were needed.

SQL query to generate Nested XML

Generate xml source file for Oracle Order Capture Print Quote

Hi,
I am new to xml and need to work on creating templates for Print Quote.
I am trying to generate the xml source file for which I enabled the report in system administrator and set the output to XML and assigned to Quoting Reports responsiblity. I then assigned XML Report Publisher to the same responsiblity.
I ran the report (Print Quote) and then I am trying to run the XML Report Publisher but I cannot get the request id in the list of values.
I am able to generate xml source file for other reports like Printed Purchase Order etc.,
The view output for the (Print Quote) report is as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
- 
<ASOPQTER />
How do I get the xml source file? Or are there seeded templates that I can use to create more templates? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Ravi

Hi, I am in the same position - did this issue ever ger resolved by anyone. I have done a few XMLP reports successfully now using the Word add-in, but customising the Quote output differs from other standard reports.
If you look at the data definition for Quote it is a 'dummy' definition and has no XML file attached. Does anyone know how I can get the XML format for the report output?
Also the template uses XSL-FO ?!?!?! rather than RTF - not sure how to work with this, the Oracle docs are not very helpful in this regard either.
Has anyone successfully managed to customise the Quote print report? Many thanks,
Roger

Problem with generating xml and nested cursor (ora-600)

I have a problem with generating xml (with dbms_xmlquery or xmlgen) and nested cursors.
When I execute the following command, I get a ORA-600 error:

<ERROR>oracle.xml.sql.OracleXMLSQLException: ORA-00600: internal error code, arguments: [kokbnp2], [1731], [], [], [], [], [], []

The problem is the second cursor (t_feature_master).
I want to generate this:

Is this a bug and do somebody know a workaround?

Very simple...Drop all type objects and nested tables and create them again. You will get no error. I'll explain the reason later.

How to generate XML from relational data : PL/SQL or Java

I'm new to Oracle XML and would appreciate some advice. I've been asked to generate XML documents from data stored in relational tables. The XML documents must be validated against a DTD. We will probably want to store the XML in the database.
I've seen a PL/SQL based approach as follows :
1.Mimic the structure of the DTD using SQL object types 2.Assign the relational data to the object type using PL/SQL as required
3.Use the SYS_XMLGEN package to render the required XML documents from the SQL objects
However, creating the object types seems to be quite time consuming (step 1 above) for anything other than the simplest of XML documents.
I've also seen that there is the Java based approach, namely :
1. Use the XML generator to build Java classes based on a DTD.
2. Use these classes to build the required XML
On the face of it, the Java based approach seems simpler. However, I'm not that familiar with Java.
Which is the best way to proceed ? Is the PL/SQL based approach worth pursuing or should I bite the bullet and brush up my Java ?
Is it possible to use a combination of PL/SQL and Java to populate the dtd generated java classes (step 2 of the Java approach) to reduce my learning curve ?
Thanks in advance

To help answer your questions:
1) Now, in 9iR2, you can use SQL/XML as another choice.
2) You can also use XSU to generate the XML and use XSLT to transform it to a desired format instead of using object views if possible.
3) XDK provide Class generator support to populate XML data to Java classes.

Easiest and/or best methods for generating XML output (not with a report)

Hi, several of our EBS customers (11.5.10) are converting their PDF reports to use XML/BI publisher to produce output. The data stream comes from a report that generates the XML output, and then the XML template is applied. This works great ... no problems, etc. From what I have read, however, Oracle intends to treat the traditional Forms and Reports Developers as legacy tools (although still supporting them, of course).
My question is if I wanted to ditch using Reports to generate XML output, what, in your opinion or in your current usage, is the easiest way of getting this data? In Reports, the data modeler is excellent in providing a method to write your queries, split them into different repeating groups, write formula and summary columns, link multiple queries, etc, etc. If one were to become Reports Developer free, what comparable tools are available to take its place? I would expect this tool to handle a mix of GUI and coding like the Reports data modeler. Please note that I'm not looking for an EBS-specific solution -- say for a custom application using regular Oracle 10g DB and iAS, with BI Publisher for reporting.
Thanks for your feedback,
Ryan

What I'm looking for is to not use Oracle Reports to generate the XML data output since Oracle's statement of direction is pushing BI Publisher rather than Oracle Reports as the preferred tool for reporting. That said, the data modeler in Reports provides a very flexible tool to construct and link multiple queries and to manipulate the queries into several levels of a master/detail relationship. Further, the mix of GUI and coding makes setting up the data model a lot more efficient. What I'm looking for (and I don't know if anything exists) is something comparable that can be used to generate XML output from the DB -- the idea being that I wouldn't use legacy tools, like Reports, for this task. I hope that is clearer.
Really, another way of answering my question is, aside from Reports and the APIs mentioned so far, what are my fellow developers using, if anything, to extract XML data in a way that handles the features i list above?

Generate XML output using DBMS_XMLGEN.getxmltype and not from rdf

Hi,
I have a requirement to display output from a particular table in XL format. Out of all the known possible options, I am planning to use the XML publisher to generate XL output.
For the data source, instead of using the conventional way of creating XML data using rdf,I am planning to use DBMS_XMLGEN.getxmltype pl/sql procedure to generate the XML output. And from the output, call the template to generate the required Excel output.
Now, I am using the following code to generate XML output but am not sure how to proceed from here. I need to first print the XML data in the FND Output file after which I was planning to call the 'XML Report Publisher' (XDOREPPB) program and use the current request id to get the excel output but I am not able to find the way to print the XML data in the output file as:
fnd_file.put_line (fnd_file.output, l_xml_type); - is throwing an error as l_xml_type is an XML data output.
PROCEDURE xml_main (
errbuf OUT VARCHAR2
,retcode OUT VARCHAR2
,p_project_from IN VARCHAR2
,p_project_to IN VARCHAR2
AS
l_xml_type XMLTYPE;
BEGIN
SELECT DBMS_XMLGEN.getxmltype
('SELECT fnd_global.conc_request_id
,TO_CHAR (segment1)
,to_char(start_date,''MM/DD/RRRR'')
,to_char(xxmcc_project_details_pkg.current_profit_projection

,''1''
FROM pa_projects_all
WHERE segment1 BETWEEN NVL (p_project_from, segment1)
AND NVL (p_project_to, segment1)')
INTO l_xml_type
FROM DUAL;
fnd_file.put_line (fnd_file.output, l_xml_type);
END xml_main;
Can anyone point me as to how to publish XML output using a PL/SQL procedure (DBMS_XMLGEN.getxmltype)
Thanks.

Pl see if the example included in this presentation helps http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/applications/Events/OOW-2006/EBS/S281401_Sridhar_Bogelli.pdf
Also, you do not need to explicitly call XDOREPPB in later versions of XML Publisher. If you set up everything correctly (as described in the presentation above and the link below) the Output Post Processor is called automatically after the XML file is generated successfully.
Another excellent tutorial is at http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/fusion_middleware/fusion/bi/xmlp_ebiz/index.html

Parameter is not working in HTTP( XML FEED) dataset in bi publisher 11g

Hi,
I have used parameter in BI Publisher 10g for HTTP(XML Feed) dataset to have dynamic url which worked by using ${p_url} where p_url is the parameter.
The same procedure when I use in BI Publisher 11g is not working.It does not consider the parameter ${p_url} and throws the following exception
*oracle.xdo.dataengine.datasource.plugin.DataAccessException: java.lang.Exception: java.net.MalformedURLException: no protocol: ${p_url}*
Has anyone faced this issue?
Please let me know if am doing something incorrect here.
Thanks &Regards,
Balaji

Thanks for your reply.
In BI Publisher 10 g we are using it this way ${p_url}.
p_url is the parameter which gives us the entire URL for the XML feed.
e.g. p_url=http://rss.news.yahoo.com/rss/topstories
The p_url takes the entire url.
Please let me know if this can be done the same way in 11g.
Thanks,
Balaji

How to generate XML from EBusiness suite ARXSGPO

Could someone tell me how I can generate XML from the EBusiness Suite Accounts Receivable report ARXSGPO.rdf I understand this report is called by a C program. I have tried changing the concurrent request to output format to XML the result does not resemble XML. Does anyone have any suggestions how I can generate XML from the ARXSGPO report?
Thanks,
Mark

Hi Mark
the next release of XMLP will have last page only support. The problem is that at the template layer you do not know how many lines are going to fit on the page, so you never know what is going to be the last page. The only way around it for now is to specify the number of lines to a page and then check when all the lines have been rendered and then render the remit portion.
I have a sample invoice that does the same, drop me a mail, you can work out the email from my name and the fact I work for XMLP Im sure.

Using servlet to generate XML file

What I want to do is simple but can't work. Hope you guys can give me a hint.
I succesfully generate XML file in command line using Oracle XML parser and class generator. Then I was trying to do it using servlet. it compiles fine but generate NullPointer exception at the line:
Emp e1= new Emp(); //Emp is the root of XML
I suspect the Emp constructor can't correctly find the globalDTD in its superclass -CGDocument. Please note this only happens in servlet setting, not is command line setting. Any suggestion to get arounf this?
Another unrelated question is that when I create a XML file using the Oracle XML parser, it seems all the elements a file has to be added once, otherwise the compiler will compalain about the missing element. this will be inconvinient when I constructing a big XML file, which I 'd liek to split into small piece and add them up. Maybe there is a good way but I just don't know it.

Hi,
I'm running into the same problem deploying the classes generated by the class generator. Code works fine from JDeveloper, but had to put my DTD in the directory where my classes are. Deploying the classes with Apache's JServ gives me a NullPointer exception on the first addNode method. I guess it can't find the DTD. I tried to put the DTD in many locations but this didn't fix the problem. Any suggestions?
Steve,
Did you fix this problem? Thanx!
